At LilyRose Hotel, the foundations of our ethos lie in creating a happy, relaxing, elegant hotel with rooms that have been thoughtfully furnished using a fusion of vintage and modern design and décor.
When you enter LilyRose Hotel, you’ll immediately feel a sense of comfort and relaxation. We want your stay with us to be effortless and leave you with a longing to come back and visit us again soon. You’ll experience Northern Hospitality at its finest, in our beautiful historic coastal town of Whitby. Best of all, Lily Rose Hotel is just a stones throwaway (2-minute walk) from the Whitby Pavilion, beach and bustling town centre.
LilyRose Hotel is situated in the popular Yorkshire resort of Whitby. What sets us apart is our truly spectacular location within the Esplanade area of the seaside town.
Our 18 modern guest rooms on the West Cliff on the picturesque historic seaside of Whitby, have been designed to immediately make you feel pampered, comfortable, and relaxed.
From first of March until the end of October we sell 48 hour scratch cards, that allow our guests to park on street parking spaces anywhere in Whitby at Zone-W, for just £3.
Whitby is a seaside town in Yorkshire, Northern England and is an exciting holiday destination for people of all ages and interests. Popular events include Goth Weekends, Northern Soul, and more.
GOOD Based on 74 reviews Posted on Mandy KellyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We needed somewhere last minute to stay and LilyRose was excellent, we got a room straight away no fuss. Emails to follow with explanation on what do do and expect. The room was lovely, bed was really comfortable and all very clean! No complaints at all, we will definitely be back 🤩Posted on Rebekah GrieveTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Location brilliant, parking was good, plenty of parking in W zone, even if you got to walk one street away.. I did get lucky and with a small wait a space came available right outside which I preferred as I had my 5 year old with me but otherwise I wouldn't have minded walking. Parking was £3 when booking on the website with the room booking for 2 days! Bargain as its £2.60 an hour at the pay and displays dotted around. I can't comment on any breakfast items to pay for on arrival as on both days there was only cereal bars at hand, it would have been handy if milk could be left to be able to top up ourselves. Room was spacious and a good size and comfortable, the only thing that would have made it a 5 was that there wasn't anywhere comfortable to sit and chill only the bed, the table and chairs are designed for garden or outside use, not for a bedroom.. Get a sofa!! A mini fridge would be a extra benefit so fresh milk can be stored, for breakfast etc. Another thing which isn't the owners fault but I was woken up early (5/6am with someone playing music.. The music didn't bother me.. However it was the guest that shouted to turn the music down that actually woke me.. Nothing to do with the owners, just some disrespectful people.. There are signs around to remind people to be quiet. With a couple of tweaks this place would be amazing.. But I would definitely stay again. I liked the self check in option, no keys to worry about. Just codes to remember to enter the main front door and the bedroom door. Both doors automatically lock for safety reasons.Posted on Hayley MercerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Brilliant location, and amazing value for £55 a night in room 12 (booked direct on hotel website) Paid £4 for a parking scratch card (in lobby when we arrived) just leave money in cash box, enabled us to park right outside- it costs £4 not £3 as it states on website! Only things that were a tiny bit annoying were the bed which was extremely squeaky, one little move and it made a noise 🤣 but it was still comfortable! And when upstairs used their shower, ours came on a little and it was also quite noisey. Mirror in bathroom too high up on the wall for us short people 🤣 But a really good place for exploring Whitby ☺️Posted on Julian RileyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Nice room , unable to get the TV working and no parking permits available.Posted on Mannie ShirazTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My self and my two children stayed in room 2 for the night. It was a lovely room. We enjoyed our little break and will be booking again soon.Posted on Alison MillerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We arrived around 3.30pm the code we had been given ( we thought was for the key box outside) we phoned the number that was given to us. Straight away a lovely lady answered and explained the code was for our room door. Our room was lovely couldn't fault it nice,clean and warm there was fresh towels, tea and coffee making facilities hairdryer, a rail to hang clothes on. The continental was on the ground floor we took what we wanted for breakfast the night before, the bed was lovely and comfortable the only thing was the pillows were to soft but that's my personal preference. We had a great sleep it was not noisy at all, the location is great we will definitely go back and will also recommend to family and friends.Posted on Trip.com MemberTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A nice comfortable hotel with helpful friendly staff who are easy to communicate with in person or by phone.The hotel is located towards the top part of West Cliff which is good for walking downhill towards centre of town but also the hotel is within a very short walk to the sea view and beach.Posted on Molly KayTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Me and my partner stayed here for one night, could not complain at all for the price, bed was very comfortable and the hotel is in an ideal location, the manager was very friendly and made check in very easy, she answered all my questions with no issues: however upon arrival the key box was already open, the towels had a few stains on but that can be expected. The other guests were quite loud on the night and early morning however could not fault the service and the room; we would return:) Thank you to all the staff for having usPosted on Pamela SinghTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

GOOD Based on 102 reviews Posted on Wayne gloverVerified Whitbys b and b for 2 Lilly rose had everything we needed. Great price and great location. We will Be back soon. The effortless check to the comfort of the bed there was nothing else we needed. This is not the first time we have stayed here and it won’t be the the last.Posted on pammiebeeVerified had a great stay will return really great place basic but everything you need for a, short break excellent location exceptionally clean nice bath room and comfy bed parking permits, available which is a great idea it's, an old tradional building so lots, of step and 5 floors no lift s so you need to be fairly fit!Posted on kilroy5805Verified Brill location Brill location lovely and clean no issues with the property at all. Parking was an issue due to the excellent weather predicted for the weekend although this was no fault of the hotel at all 5 minute walk into town, also there’s parking permit left in room to display in vehicle overnight in parking zone W 😊Posted on HilarycarruthersVerified Night by the sea Fabulous location close to the whalebone. Easy access into the hotel which is by access code rather than key. Bed very comfortable and the room had all we needed. Breakfast option was extra - cereals left in the hall, but no milk and juice (note out saying collect from kitchen), which we decided not to have. As a room only venue would certainly return to.Posted on Amy TVerified Lily rose hotel Lovely little hotel within walking distance of everything you need, great size room and facilities enjoyed our stay here and had great views of the abbey out of our fourth floor room. Two mins from the beach, only niggle we had was the heating didn’t come in the room when we switched radiators on but felt no need to report it as the room was warm enough for us anyway but overall a great little hotel and would definitely come back.Posted on Adventures_of_JenVerified Reasonable room We enjoyed our stay at the hotel. It’s such a good price and close to everything you need. The room was clean and had tea/coffee facilities. The room was tidy, tastefully decorated and had all we needed for our stay. I can recommend a stay here.Posted on Paul DVerified Found a reasonable priced,good location,clean hotel.
